Since this property may have a Section 8 Property Based Rental Assistance contract with rental assistance available to its residents, it is likely the property has a waiting list. Sometimes these waiting lists can be months or years long and may or may not be accepting new applicants. You should contact the property to verify.
Note: Affordable Housing Online has not confirmed the waiting list status directly with the property. This waiting list status forecast is based on our housing experts' knowledge of similar properties. You should always confirm this status directly with the property.
Kensington Manor Apartments is a 124 unit complex located near I-26/I- 85 in Spartanburg, SC. The complex is convenient to Westgate mall, a variety of restaurants and the downtown airport. Kensington Manor offers 1,2 and 3 bedroom apartments. All of our units are subsidized under the section 8 program through the U.S. Department of HUD.
This property participates in the Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance program meaning the rent for many, if not all, units is based on a tenant's income. You would not pay more than 30% of your income for rent. To qualify, you must earn 50% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI), which you can find on this page’s income chart. Also, project-based Section 8 properties tend to have longer waiting lists, with some with waiting lists going out for years. This property was also financed through a HUD-insured private mortgage meaning the owner has oversight from both a private bank and HUD. This usually means Kensington Manor is kept in good condition. Since this property has a project-based Section 8 contract, you won't need a Section 8 voucher to live here. If you have a voucher, you may have to give it up to live here.

"I was prepared to relocate for a Section 8 voucher, but this website alerted me to a waiting list opening in my own city. Within six months, I had a voucher! Thank you Affordable Housing Online!"
